I like passionate people. One of my favorite people to talk with is my uncle Bill. He's a DIE HARD libertarian and has been since John Stossil was a much younger man. Still, he's a really smart guy and I learn a ton when we talk. He's passionate about his beliefs and as such he's way more fun to talk to than someone I might be lock step in belief with that is less passionate. I like to surround myself with people that are doing things. My wife is the same way. I feel like Hubski has cultivated a similar group of people that I would actually hang out with in real life. I've disagreed with you, with cgod, with many people on this site a lot, but I know that if we were all in a room together, having a beer, it would be a blast. Dissenting opinion is the bedrock for growth, I'd welcome 10 people with differing views from my own to Hubski gladly, in a heart beat. I'm not sure why anyone wouldn't? You, no doubt, have friends that have varying views etc. too.
